Everything has worked better since we started using it
Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.
Hahn Rolf - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution elevates team collaboration and manages remote support efficiently
For me as a user in the service desk, there is already a lot of functionality in the product. I don't have any specific ideas for improvement on that side. Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management. For the end user, enhancements do not seem necessary at the moment. They could probably give the technician client a more modern interface, but the crucial factor is stable connectivity in a remote session. I see more potential for improvement on the administration side, like better transparency when a patch is installed. It would be useful for administrators to see the version and patch levels of the product easily. BeyondTrust could also enhance their quality control process before releasing a new build to ensure no new bugs are present. This is a common issue among software manufacturers.

Accessing multiple PCs from remote locations is easy and reliable with this solution
The solution works very well, I do not have any problem with it at all. The only problem is they have more than tripled their price in the last three years over what they used to charge. A price reduction would probably be warranted as I am not getting three times the service. My husband uses it too and he agrees that a price reduction would be the only thing he would be looking for. The vendor more than tripled the price in the last three years — so it has doubled and then doubled again. They have just kind of gone through the roof when it comes to pricing and I think that they are justifying that because of the demand.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"It's easy to manage."
"Intune's most valuable feature is its centralized management capability."
"It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."
"The biggest asset is the range of device management options available with Intune, whether it is a Windows device, a Linux device, a Mac device, or mobile devices."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"The ability to push applications on devices is valuable. You do not have to manually install applications one by one. If you like to use ten different applications, you do not have to manually go and download them one by one. Intune can compile a package for you, and then you can just push them from the admin center."
"Intune's most valuable features are the device, compliance, and configuration policies."
"A key advantage is over Password Safe, allowing third-party vendors access without directly onboarding them into the systems."
"Live chat enabled a new support channel into our service desk, integrating with our Service Management toolset. The meet-in-the-middle remote control functionality bypassed a lot of network restrictions that hampered our previous solution, enabling a far wider reach to our end-users."
"The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers."
"Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer."
"It is a lightweight, reliable solution that gives IT a direct visual of occurring issues."
"The solution has been very stable. We haven't had issues at all. It doesn't crash or freeze. There aren't bugs or glitches either."
"It has a straightforward setup. Bomgar has created a simple, lightweight deployment process."
"The most valuable feature of BeyondTrust Remote Support is the ability to control screens remotely."
"The technical support is good."
"I can do anything from a remote desktop as if I were sitting at my own PC."
"The solution is very quick to set up."
"The installation is almost instant."
"This solution has allowed us to have a highly flexible remote access solution in DR/BC situations."
 

Cons

"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"Intune needs to incorporate more tools to reduce the number of third-party applications we rely on."
"Intune should improve the management of non-Microsoft devices. It would be better to manage Mac, Android, and other non-Microsoft operating system devices within the same Intune interface."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."
"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."
"There are a lot of small use cases where we realized that some technical solution was missing in Microsoft in comparison to other products. For example, it lacks something similar to sensing or location-based rules and configurations."
"One potential improvement is in the support department. Customers based in India have to wait for support staff in the UK to start their shifts for assistance on non-urgent matters, even for severity one or two issues."
"The Bomgar representative console could do with modernising. The Web rep console introduced is a marked improvement, but is currently not at feature parity with the thick client. This is being worked on."
"​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance."
"Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"The pricing has tripled in a small amount of time and there is not three times better service."
"Integration could be improved. I'd prefer if the solution could integrate with our support and report tools as well as our timesheet reporting."
"If the PC is hung then it requires a reboot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."
"The cost is handled through our Office 365 license, so I have yet to be able to compare it directly with other tools in its class."
"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"
"Microsoft Intune is expensive."
"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."
"While I don't have access to high-level financial information, I believe we have achieved lower costs with this implementation."
"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"Their pricing is a little bit high but it's negotiable depending on the type of client. It is approximately R6,000 per year for a user. I would rate the pricing a four out of five."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"I rate Remote Support eight out of 10 for affordability. It's definitely not the cheapest product, but you get a good return on your investment."
"The licensing is concurrent and we spend about $10,000. It's my understanding that there aren't any extra costs beyond just the straight licensing."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"It was cheap and now it is comparably expensive. It costs me $484 to use the solution with just two physical PCs."
"We pay approximately 2,000 Euros a year for the solution. The licensing is all-inclusive; you don't have to pay for extra add-ons or services."
